Answer:
Anaerobic pathways that oxidize glucose to generate ATP energy by using an organic molecule as the ultimate hydrogen acceptor are called Fermentation.
Explanation:
- Many different kinds of organisms and cells use fermentation, another anaerobic (non-oxygen-requiring) process for breaking down glucose.
- Glycolysis is the only energy extraction mechanism used throughout fermentation, with one or two additional processes added at the end.
- Both cellular respiration and fermentation start with glycolysis.
- However, in fermentation, the electron transport chain is not active, and the pyruvate produced during glycolysis is not further processed by oxidation and the citric acid cycle.
- The NADH produced during glycolysis cannot transfer its electrons there to transform back into NAD+ since the electron transport chain isn't working.
- Therefore, the additional fermentation events serve to renew the electron carrier NAD+ from the NADH created during glycolysis.
